Since 1977, I’ve been testing recipes on my beloved husband. All of the recipes on my blog have been Husband-Tested in my kitchen using ingredients I purchase at our community-owned grocery store, Lost River Market & Deli and also at the Orange County HomeGrown Farmers Markets in the beautiful hills of South Central Indiana. I do this as a hobby on a volunteer basis. I LOVE TO COOK!

Creamy Braised Parsnips with Sage

Serves 4-6

Recipe from Everyday Food

Husband-Tested
in Alice’s Kitchen

Why not change it up a
bit and serve parsnips as a side dish? Parsnips are loaded with
fiber and vitamin C. A single parsnip provides 6 grams! This is an easy dish to make and quite tasty
too. Also, try Baked Rosemary Parsnip Fries. Parsnips are a great addition to soups and stews too. Parsnips are now available at Lost River Market & Deli. Don't know how to recognize or prep a parsnip? Don't worry. Just check out the photos below the recipe.

2
teaspoons olive oil

1½ pounds
parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2-by-2-inch pieces

1½ cups
chicken broth or vegetable broth

2
teaspoons chopped fresh sage or 1 teaspoon dried sage or thyme.

2 Tablespoons
heavy cream

Kosher salt
& freshly ground pepper

In a large
straight-sided skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add parsnips and sauté until
lightly browned, 4 minutes. Add broth and sage and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat
to medium-low, cover, and cook until tender, 8 minutes. Uncover, increase heat
to high, and cook until the liquid is reduced by half. Stir in cream and season
with salt and pepper.

A parsnip looks like plump cream colored carrot. It is a root vegetable and available in the fall. Store parsnips in a plastic bag (like you would carrots) in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator.

To prepare parsnips, just use a peeler and peel off the outer skin. Trim off the bottom and top, as you would a carrot.
